android: drop workarounds for ndk-gdb support (can still run manually)
packing gdbserver into apk conflicts with extractNativeLibs="false", as
the gradle pugin compresses it (which could be disabled using
aaptOptions), but furthermore it doesn't page-align it, breaking
installation.
So instead let the user manually push the gdbserver tool to device and
remove the hardcoded values that were only there to please the ndk-gdb
scripts.
Using lldb from within Android Studio is more comfortable anyway :-)
